7 Powerful principles of eagle by Dr. Myles Munroe

Principle 1: Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or other small birds. No other bird can go to the height of the eagle. Stay away from sparrows and ravens. 

Lesson 1: Eagles fly with eagles.

Principle 2: Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to five kilometres away. When an eagle sites his prey, he narrows his focus on it and sets out to get it. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.

Lesson 2: Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed.

Principle 3: Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat dead animals, but eagles will not.

Lesson 3: Be careful with what you feed your eyes and ears with, especially in movies and on TV. Steer clear of outdated and old information. Always do your research well.

Principle 4: Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the storm’s wind to lift it higher.

Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagles uses the raging storm to lift him above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the leaves and branches of the trees.

Lesson 4: We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers relish challenges and use them profitably.

Principle 5: The eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her.

Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig.

The faster it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it falls to the ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase.

A leader is someone with skills useful to others

A leader is someone who, by their personality and skills, inspires others to be the best version of themselves. While leaders may display different types of leadership styles, they all hope to achieve the same goal: motivating the team that they lead to be better and to do better.

But what makes one an excellent leader? To many, leadership comes naturally and stems from an innate ability to take control of a situation and seek the best possible outcome for all parties involved. For others, it’s a special talent nurtured and grown every day.

To learn more about what kinds of skills or abilities are worth pursuing or nurturing, we asked members of the Young Entrepreneur Council to share some of the most unique and surprising traits that they think excellent leaders possess—and how they help. Here’s what they said:

1. Relatability: I have always found the best leaders to be those who know how to relate to everyone. It sounds obvious, but not everyone has this trait. Being able to be in a room and connect with everyone on some level is not the easiest to come by. And it’s important because if people feel like they can relate with their leader, they will stick with them through thick and thin.

—Colbey Pfund, LFNT Distribution

2. Maturity: While being genuine, ethical and charismatic are all great skills for a leader, the one trait often overlooked is maturity. Making informed and enlightened decisions, giving advice that helps empower others, and refusing to let emotions rule are all signs of a mature leader. Maturity is a way of building trust. It comes not with age, but with mindfulness and accepting mistakes as learning tools.

—Joey Kercher, Air Fresh Marketing

3. Resilience: The ability to bounce back from tough situations is ideal for a leader because it provides the confidence and security that the team may need to keep going. Being resilient also means coming up with other solutions, which can encourage the team to do the same.

—Serenity Gibbons, NAACP

4. Accountability: A great leader knows how and when to take blame and accountability for their team. Ideally, team members are accountable for what they are doing individually, but when a leader steps up and shares in that accountability when things maybe didn’t go so well, it helps the team improve for next time.

—Michael Averto, ChannelApe

5. Thirst for Knowledge: A thirst for knowledge is important if you’re a new employee, but it’s also important for leaders to learn, too. As a manager or owner, it’s vital that you continue learning about your industry and personal interests. The desire to learn can give you an advantage when growing your company and managing your staff.

—Syed Balkhi, WPBeginner

6. Adaptability: Being able to handle change well makes any leader more efficient. This means that they can handle massive changes in the team, direction and business model very well. I don’t really care if someone can handle something they have already tackled before and have experience in; I care if they can handle something that they have never experienced before.

—James Guldan, Vision Tech Team

7. Insecurity: While it’s important for a leader to make decisions and stand by them, it’s also important for a leader to second- or even third-guess their decisions. A level of insecurity allows a leader to give each decision the rigorous vetting it needs, and it encourages them to consult other team members before pulling the trigger. Although paradoxical, insecurity is an essential leadership trait.

—Bryce Welker, Beat The CPA

8. Humility: Being humble through your success is vital to staying down to earth and being pleasurable company. Letting it get to your head is unattractive in a leader, whose attitude will rub off on his or her team. When you recognize that everyone on your team is just as valuable to the company’s success as you are, you’ll reap the benefits and encourage productivity.

—Chris Christoff, MonsterInsights

9. Simplicity: Simplicity helps you connect with your team at all levels. If you are overly complicated, sophisticated or fancy, it might not work well with the team. I like to be simple yet highly visionary and approachable. It really works for my small team, as they can understand me easily and stay connected.

—Piyush Jain, SIMpalm

10. Helpfulness: Ask your team where you can help. If you have hired great people, ask them where you can provide resources, perspective and help to ensure they are successful. Some leaders do not want to “get their hands dirty” or do the hard work, which can create resentment. When you are willing to roll up your sleeves, you set an example of collaboration and initiative that fosters both trust and engagement.

—Jessica Gibson, Ariel Precision Medicine

11. Sense of Humor: Having a sense of humor gets you through difficult situations and stressful times. It helps build rapport and trust with your team, who see you more for who you are versus just being an imposing “boss.” From presentations to staff meetings, I use humor to put everyone at ease and create common ground.

—John Rampton, Calendar

12. Introversion: Contrary to a common misconception, introverts make very good leaders. They are reasonable and persistent, and their ability to carefully analyze every situation can sometimes bring incredible results. Also, introverts would rather listen than talk, which means that they take into consideration various points of view and then put more time into critical thinking.

—Solomon Thimothy, OneIMS

13. Positivity: Many say they would prefer to be realistic, but practicing positivity is good for business. If you’re a negative leader, it’ll spread throughout your company like wildfire. People will think that this kind of attitude is what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur, but this is wrong. Good leaders radiate positivity and encourage their team through bringing them up instead of tearing them down.

—Thomas Griffin, OptinMonster

14. Enthusiasm: Have you ever had a boss that was enthusiastic about the work they did, regardless of what it was? Enthusiastic leaders are great because they encourage a positive attitude, and that kind of behavior is contagious. Good energy is contagious and puts everyone in a good mood so they’re prepared to work efficiently and encourage others to do the same.
